16-year-old super-student Nagi Umino, a second-year at Meguro River Academy High School, was switched at birth. On his way to a dinner where he is supposed to meet his biological parents, he coincidentally runs into the bold, outspoken Erika Amano, who is determined to make Nagi her fake boyfriend since she never actually wants to get married. But when Nagi makes it to the dinner, he discovers that his parents have decided to resolve the hospital mix-up by conveniently having him marry the daughter his biological parents raised... who turns out to be none other than Erika herself!
